What it does
SB 1608 - For all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, this act authorizes a taxpayer to claim a tax credit in an amount equal to 100% of contributions made to eligible entities. Eligible entities are defined as non-for-profit organizations that operate a youth police initiative in an urban area in this state. Youth police initiatives are defined as programs conducted by eligible entities for the purpose of engaging at-risk youth and local police officers in activities and conversation to build trust and break down stereotypes between youth and police.
More detail
Tax credits authorized by the act shall not be refundable, but may be carried forward for five tax years and may be transferred, sold, or assigned. The total amount of tax credits that may be authorized in a tax year shall not exceed $500,000.
The Department of Public Safety shall maintain a list of all eligible entities, and shall update such list at least annually. A taxpayer shall submit evidence of contributions to the Department.
This act shall sunset on August 28, 2032, unless reauthorized by the General Assembly.
This act is identical to SB 845 (2026) and is substantially similar to HCS#2/HBs 1882 & 3097 (2026). JOSH NORBERG
